Varieties Of Canary Birds.

The canary bird belongs to the Anch
family. 1t is a native Of the Canary ISL
ands. There are two species-the native
and the domesticatcd. The native birds
are ashy brown on the back, with green.
ish yellow feathers on the throat, shading
to golden yellow on the breast the sides
are a dingy white, the wing feathers
brown black. with pale brown edges. The
female is Of a more dingy and dull colcrel
piumage than the male. The domesiicated
bird is larger, with entire plumage Of a
rich, yellow color. The two species were
originally one, the difference having been
the result of changed surroundings and
uniting with other species of tinches. The
original canary stock was imported from
the Canary Islands to Europe about the
fourteenth century. Crossing has given
rise TO about fifty varieties Of the domesti-
Gated bird. Some of them are of very
beautiful plumage, and remarkable pow.

notice that a ''four- wheelcr'' means Il

never, by any chance, applied to any other

What msn is manly settles the Gu-s-

his deeds take their chief power from his
personality. 1t is not merely that a mans

Dangers OF . Voyage Of Exploration In
the Antarctic keas.
The same dreaming spirit of discovery

Nordenskjold, who has made himself
famous, although there are no longer any
rich new worlds to discover. Hs has pen.
ctrated far into the polar regions north
of Spitzbergen, and traversel q region
which he called Franz Josef Land, in honor
of the Austrian Emperor, who sent him
upon the expedition. He has penetrated
the uninhabited and uninhabi:able wastes
of the interior of Greenland, seeking for
traces of Danish occupancy there. and has
sailed to Japan, passing through the
Arctic Ocean, to the north Of Siberia.
Nordenskjold, after resting from the la
bors OF exploration for some time, is now
about to undertake a new journey. not
this time toward the North Pole. but to-
ward the South Pole. which is quite as
much a mystery as the North, and even
further from the ground which has been
explored and is now known.
A voyage of exploration toward the
South Pole is more periious than one in the
Arctic region. The Antarctic seas are
much less visited than the Arctic. There
are no Esquimau natives, whose help may
be depended upon. Toward the North Pole
there are points established well known
to navigators, where provisions may DO
left, with some assurance that the ice
bound explorer may reach them. There is
little in the Antarctic polar region except
a wilderness Of ice. The explorer must
depend absolutely upon his ship. II that
is crushed IN the ice, there is no help for
him. Even if the survivors Of such q
wreck were to succeed, after dreadful ia.
tigues and sufferings, in reaching the
open sea, they could hope to find no rescu-
ing sail. Below the line of the seal fisher.

Nordensxjold sets ont for the Antartic
Ocean knowing that he can not expect to
find wealth there, and his men have little
to attract them except little more than
the ordinary pay for seamen, and the de-
sire to do brave and worthy decd. Their
leader is one of a class of men, not few in
modern times, and no less heroic than the
adventurers of old, who are willing to lay
down their lives in striving to increase
